Cap III- If it were love ...

If it was love ...

You would not let the flame go out,

If it was love ...

In the same way that I do, you would not let anything I lack,

If it was love ...

At some point it was going to hurt, but because it was love it would be a pain that could be endured,

If it was love ...

It would be eternal, not temporary like loose sheets of a notebook,

If it was love ...

Not even the strongest of storms could be cause for fear,

If it was love ...

Tears would be joyful to know that my goal of making you happy was being accomplished,

If it really was love ...

That phrase would be in the present together with the future and not in the past perfect.
